Notes
Smart Shopping Tips
- Some varieties of apples are quite expensive. Granny Smith and Golden Delicious apples are usually a good buy. Buying in bulk is a good value if they will all be used before they spoil.
- Other flavors of yogurt may be used, but watch out for added sugar. Read labels carefully.
- Instead of cinnamon, try an apple pie or pumpkin pie spice blend.
- Place cut-up fruit which has been dipped in orange juice in bags so it’s ready to go during the week.
- Strawberries or any cut-up fruit can be used.
- Apples should be stored away from vegetables as they can cause them to spoil faster.
- For maximum fiber, do not peel apples.
